Hello Visionary!

I am learning English from you, sitting down here in Berlin, Germany, Europe. Wink Thanks. I however even now hav not understood your first sentence. Seems nice Smile.

How many links can a link hold if a link could hold links.
As many as Many Categories a category can hold if a Category can hold Many Categories (You'd be kind to tell me if I have written a bad Grammer in English).

Anyway, how many Categories can links sql hold while still being fast,...

Thats the important question today more than links. I have 8,000 Categories in Geographic Links and 18,000 Categories to install in Subject Links Categories. The grographic section will grow.

Every day I receive about 200 - 300 Links request submissions. So everyday I need to build about 30 new pages for every 300 addition of new links in the database. Now I have 30,000 links already outside the Links SQL database. This 30,000 links could be on an average spread out to 7 links per page, i.e. some pages less and some more, thereby giving a number of 4,285 pages!!!

Therefore, to build 30 new pages, I shall be forced to build 4,285 pages, or rounding up - 4,000 pages Everyday.

Instead of building static pages, the number of already existing to new - which is out of proportion to build, I would think if they are dynamically build that would consume less of the cpu as against cgi-calls. Mr. Pataki brought very very interesting and clever arguments of why not to dynamically build webpages. Because it would give less burden to the server and this becomes of extreme importance when the line is a dial-up and the server is a shared one, as is the case of mine. All this is ofcourse specific to the page hits and the server configurations.

Now, the new working Unit module seems to be under development. When I saw this module that Alex was developing, I had a big hope that this kind of areas will bring very very big change to the entire development of the product. When I see what it can do, or the possibilities, they are so great! When this module combines with the entire Links SQL modules, I cannot think more how fast and more intellegent it can become. This module and its application will bring a very important change, I beleive.

Although I cannot and should not say much here without expreience. I have not had the chance to install my database from Access to Links SQL as the import-export area does not support and does not work very good. More over Alex do not support very good in terms of time. I am disappointed, stuck and frustrated since three months.
